Contemplating picking up these 255/40-17 Nitto Motivos for $512 shipped
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI...ht_1726wt_1139
Seem to have everything I need for Ohio weather. I currently still have my Blizzak snow tires and don't really have any complaints about them aside from them being a little on the loud side (what do I know? I haven't had any other tires on the car).
They are $612 shipped with a $100 mail in rebate making them $512 total. Seems too good of a deal to pass up.
Looking for performance, quietness, and just an all around good ride. They are also backed by a 60,000 mile warranty which is awesome.
Thoughts?

they are a new tire.
not many....CORRECTION....NO ONE HAS THEm.
if, in your research you are OKAY with these ALL SEASON UHP tire at $512, then go ahead and get them.
I have the Nitto NT05.
In my research on the motivos, I found that Nitto took technology from their summer tires(read: NT05) and passed it along to this tire, the motivos.
Although, being an all season tire...performance is sacrificed and the NT05 is still the reigning champ.
the article I read: http://www.motortrend.com/features/c...ivo_tire_test/ had great things to say about the Motivos.
tread life should be more than okay at a rating of 560/a/a

If they perform well, are quiet, and have good tread life - I will be more than happy.
I went ahead and purchased earlier. I'll post up a review when I get a chance.

As for the rating that you gave me (560/a/a), what exactly does that indicate? I have read somewhere that there is a rating that is tagged on tires that you can tell whether or not your fuel mileage is going to be affected. Is this correct?

I just installed the NT850s which have the same wear rating with just a little different tread pattern.
$367.99 shipped for 225/45/17
